Woman drop kicks birthday cake in Kroger store

A customer at a Kroger’s supermarket in Bloomfield Township made quite the splash after she reportedly drop kicked her 7-year-old son’s birthday cake because she was unhappy with the decoration.

Witnesses say pieces of cake and frosting were strewn about the bakery section of the market.

The incident occurred about 2 p.m. Saturday when the customer went to pick up a special order “Batman v Superman” birthday cake. Dissatisfied with the decoration, she decided to go behind the bakery counter in an attempt to fix it herself.

Store employees told the woman she wasn’t allowed behind the counter. Consequently, the cake went flying. One witness said the woman stomped on the cake several times and yelled, “They fu***ing ruined my 7-year-old’s birthday cake!”

Police say the woman quickly left the store, kicking over a wet floor sign on her way out. Because the cake was a special order, the woman’s name and phone number were filed with the bakery section.

Officers went to her house and questioned her about the incident. She acknowledged being unhappy with the cake, but claimed the employees allowed her behind the counter. As for the cake, she said it slipped out of her hand.

Kroger does not have video of the incident and the investigation is ongoing. Police are not releasing the woman’s identity because no charges have been filed.
